Ingredients

2

lb pork back ribs, cut across bones to make riblets

1/2

cup real maple syrup

1/4

cup apple jelly

1

tablespoon soy sauce

1/4

cup chopped fresh chives

1/2

teaspoon ground mustard

Preparation

Heat oven to 450°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Place meaty sides down in foil-lined pan; cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, stir together remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and well blended. Remove from heat.

Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Remove ribs from oven. Uncover; drain liquid from ribs. Turn ribs meaty sides up; brush with 1/2 of syrup mixture.

Bake uncovered 30 minutes. Brush with remaining syrup mixture; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until ribs are tender and glazed.
